We ask delegates and clients for feedback at the end of courses and consultancy work. The comments below are a selection from recent years, covering different sectors, organisations and levels of responsibility. They reflect the things people most often say about our work: that it is clear, practical and useful in the real world.
Training feedback
“The Senior Executives course provided a lot of information I was not familiar with and triggered real opportunities for improvement. I particularly liked the breakdown into Moral, Legal and Financial, and the synergies with continuous improvement — leadership, root cause analysis, mistake proofing, cultural aspects.”
Vice President
International Pharmaceutical Company
“I recently passed my NEBOSH through a course run by Phil. Each module was explained clearly and covered in great depth. The professionalism shown throughout the course was excellent — and the entire group passed, which is an achievement in itself. One of the best courses I have completed in my career.”
Transport Operations Manager
UK Logistics Company
“Choosing the correct provider for a professional course is perhaps the most important step you can take. Phil has the ability to combine and pass on the required information with practical examples drawn from personal experience, as well as imparting exam technique. A supportive and knowledgeable learning environment that puts you in the best position to pass the difficult NEBOSH exams.”

“The NEBOSH course was engaging, well structured, and made the exam feel far less intimidating. I passed with distinction second time around and I honestly don’t believe that would have been possible had you not gone the extra mile.”
Technical Resources Manager
UK University
“Phil is a brilliant facilitator with a calm, down-to-earth approach. He speaks plain English and doesn’t try to blind you with science — a practical approach to a technical subject, easy to digest and oddly enough, enjoyable.”
Facilities and Estates Manager
NHS UK
“Very impressed with the quality of the training delivered. In addition to his excellent knowledge of health and safety, Phil showed he has the skills to work with a multinational class of students. I would have no hesitation in undergoing further training with Phil.”
General Works Manager
Saudi Arabia
“The course content was excellent, very informative, with great visual description. Phil’s vast experience from the mining industry really shines through in his knowledge of real-life health and safety — experience that you just cannot fully learn from a book.”
Managing Director
Fire Safety Company, UK
Consultancy feedback
“The implementation of the General Work Permit and Isolation policy has started, and while there is some resistance to change, the majority recognise that it is a move to a better and safer work environment. We had an OSHA inspection last week and the Safety Inspector reviewed the programme — she liked the General Work Permit and was particularly impressed with the Take 2. Thank you for all of your time, input, direction and patience in getting us started.”
HSE Manager
USA
“I attended Phil’s NEBOSH intensive course and found his coursework extremely easy to understand and remember for the written examinations. Phil has a great teaching skill and methodology that makes it easy to interact with him and other students. Another attribute is that you can contact Phil to seek his advice on safety matters. Nationally and internationally, Phil Douglas and Oracle Safety Associates are leaders in their field.”
